I guess it comes down to your lousy contract that's not really giving you opportunities to exceed guarantee then?
I don't want a divorce and I'd like my daughter to know my name. You'll be gone more than 20 days a month from home if you'd like to do that. Keep in mind that on 2nd year you could be gone 20+ days a month and maybe break $120,000 for the year, but the same schedule at a real airline would have you breaking more than $200K as a 2nd year FO. You'll be tearing your body up while you do that too. I need the time off to recover as well....
The CBA is horrible and this week the company had the nerve to spend the entire week asking for concessions. Find a regional with flow. Go there.
